Sometimes it happens that long-forgotten trends become relevant again. Even if for several decades they remained only in nostalgic memories or gathered dust on the mezzanine. So, some things from the times of the USSR are now very popular all over the world. And many do not even suspect that their mothers and grandmothers wore them. What are these things?
Practical tires
Along with current models of shoes made of leather, suede and other materials, rubber boots are now at the peak of popularity. Many of us remember from childhood how we splashed through puddles in these. Well, a great opportunity to feel nostalgic and at the same time be known as a stylish thing!
Rubber boots can be found in the collections of many famous designers and shoe brands. For example, Burberry or Mulberry. And if the former are black classics, the latter will delight lovers of bright shoes.For example, Mulberry recently released red rubber boots, decorated with rebellious straps and buckles.
Ushanka - like Tosya's
Anyone who watched the cult Soviet film “Girls” remembers the main character Tosya, her simple images and, of course, her earflap hat. In the USSR, a similar headdress was worn by everyone, young and old: both men and women.
In modern fashion, earflaps also occupy a leading position among warm hats. Unlike their Soviet prototype, today's hats come in a huge variety of colors and materials. For example, made of leather or thick textiles, partially decorated with fur. This fashionable hat can be worn with sheepskin coats, coats, parkas, leather jackets, etc.
Plastic basket bags
Another accessory without which many Soviet women could not imagine their lives. We used these basket bags to go shopping in stores and markets. After all, packages were not handed out at the checkout or even sold at that time.
Surprisingly, after a couple of decades, this Soviet accessory returned to fashion. Moreover, it was brought back not by domestic designers, but by the world famous Marc Jacobs. The designer presented the basket at the Louis Vuitton show. It was translucent and not made of plastic, as in the USSR, but of expensive Italian leather. The cost of this “flashback to the Union” is 2,000 euros.
Interesting! After the triumphant return of the basket bag, many global brands became interested in it. For example, such a model can be found in the collections of Prada, Chanel, Celine and others. There are the usual plastic ones, and there are also luxurious ones - leather ones. And it is now customary to wear such a “string bag” not only to the store, but also for a walk, to the gym, to study, or to any informal meeting.
Traditionally, this outerwear was made from sheepskin (both natural and artificial) and had a standard color - beige or brown. Modern models are eye-opening. You can choose a sheepskin coat of almost any color (from snow-white to bright pink), made of leather or sheepskin.
Jackets with shoulder pads
Some fashionistas still remember this trend from the 80s and 90s - a large “oversized” jacket and always with sewn-in shoulder pads. And it is more relevant now than ever. Stylists recommend that you be sure to replenish your wardrobe with at least one such model. It can be a tailored jacket or even a fitted one, but with wide shoulders and shoulder pads. Or maybe a trendy oversized style.
This model can be worn with shorts, trousers, and feminine skirts or dresses. Both buttoned options (with or without a belt) and casually unbuttoned ones look good.

The fashion world often proves that, as they say, the new is the well-forgotten old. In addition to the above-mentioned Soviet things, you can safely take out “grandmother’s” floral scarves and wall hangings from the bins. Many things from the past have turned into trends, so don’t rush to declutter your mezzanines. Suddenly something else from the “old” will become ultra-relevant!
